Twisty one, isn't it? And Lucy my neighbours got married after 7 years together when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, just to simplify the paperwork for her. (Then he went into remission )
Under table? Like common-law marriage? Never heard of that phrase, I like it! I've heard the phrase when you say Mary cooks for John (or John for Mary?) it means living together
Person B needs to change Person A's point of view, not their living arrangements
Amorn, not an option for Person A. Too many people do it, then split up because they can't be bothered any more.
Sure, the one who loves you will never leave you because even if there are 100 reasons to give up, they will find 1 reason to hold on. But proving that without the commitment of marriage?
Glib quotes like 'marriage is a great institution, but I wouldn't want to live in an institution' will lighten the mood of the blog but do very, very little to solve the problem. Just sayin'.
You never know. You may need this blog yourself one day when your new and lovely partner starts getting a little sulky about the NOT going-to-the-chapel thing. There could be as many as 5 really good points to trot out ...
I'm stumped. Oh, not me, by the way. I was just amazed that for once I couldn't offer any advice, that NEVER happens. I don't think you guys can either, but would love to be wrong.
I'm not sure I fully understand the question. When in doubt, though, stick with honesty. It's always going to be the best in the long run! And if it loses you someone - were they worth having?
Crazy things, why would I want to do crazy things for someone? I'd maybe do crazy things with them, if it made us gasp with laughter or fizz with excitement - for example I'd never do hot-air ballooning on my own, because I'm scared of heights. If he set his heart on it, gulp, I would try it.
If you want to do crazy things, or you want him to do crazy things for you, the relationship is an adrenalin trip and burning out fast. Enjoy, though.
Molly, PG, you nailed it. If I was still an unreformed matchmaker I'd be looking up flights for you. Fortunately I am a less interfering person now. But yes. What you both said.
Golly, no. Although I will say when I was younger I liked men at least 3 years older. Now I like them my own age, or a little younger. Most of all, though, they have to be good company.
Don't think I left anyone unanswered, not deliberate if I did, the pungent cleaning chemicals are playing merry hell with my brain.
No blog planned, either, unless inspiration strikes tonight or tomorrow night. Then I shall be off-line for a few days, unless said company is boring, in which case I will be on here looking for my daily shot of life and excitement.
Oh, and I gave up on the loo seat. That was about 6 blogs ago, if anyone is paying attention. I now have a very boring and sedate one which stays in place, and doesn't attack anyone.
Obstinance, I suspect that in this one field alone, I am more male than female. I am not that untidy or slovenly, and I am quite prepared to live in the mess I do make.
I just don't feel I can ask the same of my guests.

Would that be - gasp - honest?
my dog's hairs could be sold as industrial strength glue. And my vacuum is VAST. 
one foxhole for each option? 
Reasons not to get married
Oh the sleeping with sister will for sure preserve the good relationship and keep it on an even keel ...interesting that you decided it had to be the female wanting marriage.
